Swiss vote down new minarets (the onion)
http://www.theonion.com/content/amvo/swiss_vote_down_new_minarets

Voters in Switzerland passed a referendum banning the construction of new Muslim prayer towers. What do you think?

Matt King,
Piece Trimmer
"Who knew that a nation full of uptight pricks could also be really intolerant?"

Lynda Weitz,
Unemployed
"I guess there are some Swiss who believe Islamic customs are a threat to their national identity. This is all very eye-opening to me, because I never even knew there was a Swiss national identity."

Nick Lovetro,
Bucket Operator
"Can’t say I blame them. It's a slippery slope between calling for prayer and hanging sheets and underpants up there to dry."
